Hi.
would someone please explain why we don't use proper consonant sounds for some words, ie; chevy /ʃevi/ (it's not shevy) instead of /tʃevi/, or chicago instead of shicago etc. Are there any phonetic rules, does it depend on the before and after phonemes?
Also /p/ what are the phonetic rules fro silent /p/ as in psychology.
Thanks a million.
